Chart Scan with Commentary:  Tick Chart

Recently, in Chart Scan I mentioned that if you want to trade a chart that is time-independent, you have two choices:

  • Point and figure charts
  • Tick charts

To create a tick chart, you need software that will enable you to do so. I use Genesis Trade Navigator. Either one will allow you to generate tick charts. Some programs call them "equi-ticks." Instead of each bar on the chart representing a specific amount of time, each bar represents a specific number of ticks. Tick charts change the entire structure of the prices you are looking at. The magnitude of the moves changes markedly, as well as having trends appear where there is no trend with charts based on time. The time between bars also varies. At a setting of 500 ticks per price bar, you might find an hour or more between bars, or a matter of minutes between bars, depending upon the liquidity of the market you are trading. This inability to know when the bar will change is a weakness in the use of tick charts, so be careful if you use them. The size and shape of the bar can change dramatically when least expected.

One of the nicest things about tick charts is that you can literally create them to match your own style of trading. Your chart for each market can be unique to you and you alone. The number and variety of tick charts is virtually unlimited. Someone trading a bar chart in which each bar contains 257 ticks is going to see a different chart from the person trading a bar chart in which each bar contains 250 ticks.

The chart below was sent in to me by one of our subscribers. It is a chart of the e-mini S&P. Each bar contains 1,000 ticks. This is the text that accompanied the chart: "Another example of using price bars and price bar relationships correlated with 15-min and 60-min charts. After a large go down, it is reasonable to have it go back up some."

Trading Article:  Question from a subscriber:

"Once I’ve achieved success as a trader, then what? I’ve heard that after a while trading can become boring."

I know you would all like to have that problem, but I can vouch for its being true. I am always having to find new ways to trade or I do become bored. However, I have never run out of ways to trade that remain exciting, at least for a fairly long time.

After the objective techniques of trading (discipline, controlling losses, self-control, self-confidence, etc.) are mastered, the great traders have prescient insight and the ability to envision themselves and their methods as part of a higher realm where art, science, and markets become one with all life.

A professional trading friend of mine says it this way: "The great traders I’ve known have an enthusiasm for life. The word 'enthusiasm' comes from the Greek word 'Enthios' and means, 'God within.' Enthusiasm is contagious and causes men to rise above their abilities. Napoleon was known as the '100,000 man,' because on the battlefield his enthusiasm was worth another 100,000 men. Henry V was a brilliant '100,000 man' who lead his troops, outnumbered more than five to one, to startling victory at Agincourt, where over fifty Frenchmen died for every one Englishman. Great traders, scientists and artists recognize there is great art in all scientific endeavors, and there is great science in all artistic endeavors. Living one's life is the ultimate artistic statement."

Of course, you can always turn to helping others. There is a lot to be said for giving back some of what you have received in the way of good fortune. There is great reward and satisfaction in seeing another person make it as a successful trader.

Marco Mayer shares trading success with Ambush Signals example trading education

With Ambush Signals you can easily follow Ambush, a system specialized in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in the Futures markets.

Save up to $629 on Ambush Signals Today!

As you know I don't send out emails to you very often. But as many of you have been asking me about longer-term subscriptions for Ambush Signals at a discount, I thought this might be interesting to you. Usually, I only offer monthly or 3-month subscriptions, but till Saturday you can also get:

Additionally, you can get the Ambush eBook $500 off, for $1,299 instead of $1,799: simply use the coupon-code "ambush500“ at the checkout. 

 

Ambush System takes off to End-of-Year Rally!

Yes, Ambush did it again as most of the Ambush markets and portfolios just hit new all-time equity highs in November. Looks like it just started off to a nice end-of-year rally, don’t miss it!

Trading has surely been tough lately for a lot of traders, especially due to the crazy correction we had in the stock markets in October. That’s a recipe for disaster for many trading strategies but for Ambush it’s one of the most favorable market conditions. And oh boy did it rally during that period. The Ambush Small Portfolio, for example, showed a performance gain of over 8k within just two months of trading! Thanks to that rally, almost all Ambush markets are now showing nice gains for 2018.

Of course, this is just a tiny part of the whole Ambush history, so let’s zoom out and have a look at the broader picture. Ambush has been around for about 10 years now. That’s exceptional for a trading system. Actually, it’s the only one I know that’s been around that long with most systems working no longer than a couple of months. But as markets tend to change, I do review Ambush once a year to see if any changes are necessary to adapt to changing market conditions. The last time any significant changes have been required was in July 2015. As you can see on the following chart Ambush kept on performing as expected since then in live trading.

You can find out more about the sample portfolios and the long-term performance of each of the Ambush Markets on the Performance Page.

2018 has been quite a year for Ambush and if you missed it so far, join us now for what looks like a promising finale of the year and start 2019 on the right side of the markets.

Join us and become an Ambush Trader!

The most popular and easiest way to follow Ambush is Ambush Signals. It does all the work for you, allows you to customise what markets you want to see and has a position sizing tool implemented to automatically adjust the positions to your risk preferences.

Each day around 6:30 pm NY Time the Signals are available for you on the Dashboard. You can then place your orders and literally walk away until the next market close! To find out more about the details of Ambush and how Ambush Signals works, have a look at the Ambush Signals Website.

Let’s be realistic. Following any System can be tough, especially in the beginning. It simply needs time to build the confidence needed to make it through inevitable drawdowns. So what if you are unlucky and don’t catch a good start right away?

I want you to succeed trading Ambush Signals, so here’s something for you that will strongly increase your odds of success and allow you to easily gain the confidence you’ll need to become a long-term profitable Ambush trader.

Today you can also get:

Now if instead of simply getting the daily Ambush Trading System Signals you want to know the actual trading rules behind the System, you can get the Ambush eBook $500 off, for $1,299 instead of $1,799 by using the coupon code "ambush500“ at the checkout.
